Model 14 (2010) is a copy of a 1929 Santos Hernandez flamenco guitar. One of the most outrageously good guitars I’ve ever heard. The body shape could also be used for a classical guitar. I did some restoration work on the original in 2008 and made a plan from it.
I plan to build a classical version in the near future for demonstration.
The guitar below, made in 2010 is a Spruce/Cypress 650mm fan-braced in the style of the original, as is the rosette design. Fitted with Alessi Hauser style tuning machines with ivoroid plate inlays and buttons. Apologies for the rather poor quality of some of the photos.
